WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin normally stomps mudholes in his opponents while wearing boots, but the Texas Rattlesnake got the chance to show off his sneaker taste.
The Victoria, Texas native stopped by the Global Goods sneaker store in Reno, Nev. in the latest episode of Complex’s Sneaker Shopping with Joe La Puma. After revealing he wasn’t a big sneakerhead, telling stories about how his agent convinced him he could get signed by Nike one day, and showing gratitude for the praise he gets from other athletes such as LeBron James and Stefon Diggs, it was time to buy some kicks.
